given most admins habits of setting up scripts to clear out /tmp on a regular basis this is not the best place to put such information on "state". If you insist on using this dir then I would recommend something like: ESYNC_STATE="$(mktemp -p /tmp/esync_state/esync_state.XXX)" || exit 1 By using the subdir you can ensure proper perms and security (depending on what user you are running the script as) and you stop _most_ /tmp cleaners as they won't kill subdirs. -- Benjamin Smee (strerror) netmail/netmon/forensics/crypto [EMAIL PROTECTED]
